[June 25, 2014]NEW YORK (Reuters) -
Applications for U.S. home mortgages fell last week as
both purchase and refinancing applications dipped, an
industry group said on Wednesday.

The Mortgage Bankers Association said its
seasonally adjusted index of mortgage application activity,
which includes both refinancing and home purchase demand, fell
1.0 percent in the week ended June 20.

The MBA's seasonally adjusted index of refinancing applications
fell 0.9 percent, while the gauge of loan requests for home
purchases, a leading indicator of home sales, fell 1.2 percent.
